Talks To n 'IsegI,tsr" Nan About Bas
Ban Matters.

Talks Co a "RegI,ter" Man About Base
Ball Matters.
A REGISTER reporter met MIR. Will
English, Secretary of the Wheeling Base
Ball Association, yesterday, and asked
him how the club would end up the sea-
son in a financial way.
"We are in very good standing" said
Mr.. English. "Of curse we have spent q
great deal of money in experiments, and
now that we have gained the knowledge
we IAN put it to good use. Naturally the
first wear of a clubs existence is bound to
be more expensive than following years,
even when the plant is not taken into con-
sideration. And then belonging to q
new league made it all the more
costly. We came out ahead anyway,
and have oar plant all ready to start in
next season. Wheeling is a good base ball
town and we have tried, and l think sue
ceeded, in pleasing the people and conduct
ing matters in a manner that no one could
object to; and, as you know, the best citi-
zens of Wheeling have been among our
patrons"
GLOW about next seasons outlook? p"
TWell, as i said before, Wheeling is q
good base ball town, in fact the best in the
Ohio League, taking it straight through the
season, and I have no doubt but that we
will be in the same League next year, and
it is safe to say that the Ohio League will
be composed of better cities and be far
stronger han it was the past season"
"Has the Wheeling club for next season
been made up yet?"
ooh, no; we are not allowed to sign a
man until the first day of November, but
You may rest assured that we will have q
club next season that will make its oppo-
nents hustle right lively. We want to
take the pennant next year, and l think
we can. Wheeling base ball stock is good,
and it is held by some of our best citizens,
who would not part with q share OF 1t at
par. Our new Board of Directors Will De
elected November Sd, and it is the inten-
ton to run the Wheeling Association up
to the dot next season. We have the ex-
perience and paid for it, and we intend 10
give the base ball patrons and the stock
holders the full benefit oft next season.

MINsTRELs.

A Crowded House Assured for This Even
ing-Manager Cleveland Talks.
A REGISTER reporter last evening had a
pleasant chat with Mr.. w. S. Cleveland,
manager Of Hayerly's American European
Minstrels, who appear at the Opera House
this evening. When asked how he &C
counted for the i'm mense success of Mr..
HaVerly's enterprises, especially his min,
strel companies, Mr., Cleveland said;
at is easily accounted for. Mr.. Hay'
erly's nam is known far and wide. 1t is
familiar in two hemispheres, having been
identified with the best and most progress
sive amusement enterprises in exist
ence. 1t is a synonym for refined
entertainments. No species of vul.
garity is allowed, no Jokes are
told that depend upon double eatendre as q
substitute for wit, and the strictest disci-
pline is rigidly enforced. High salaried
and accomplished gentlemen, both socially
and professionally, are employed, and by
such arrangements the acme of refined en-.
tertsinments are reached. Oh, yes; Hav-
erly's name is great trademark. He is 9
wonderful executive amusement director
and manager. Our singing feature is IA
ther an expensive luxury, costing the com
pany alone the item of $3.50 per week.
There is this to be said also in favor of ouI
expense account 1t does moi
require one-third the expense in adyertis-
ing and billing matter that was necessary
in former days, nor one-third as mucf
even as the ordinary travelling company.
The people seem to know by intuition tina
Hayerly is coming, as they know he is MOI
only up but far ahead of the times-a pio
neer, as it ~were-they are confident of see
ing and hearing the newest, freshest anG
always original entertainment given.
Light, harmless and wholesome amuse
ments, when not tainted with coarse o.
vulgar accomplishments, are as necessary
as the food we eat" The reporter.at this
point gladly made his escape, or the genia
manager would have rattled off until nov
about Hayerly's Great Show.

from his farm to Wheeling to be tested.
It was found to contain s~eventy-five per

and find that there is not only a three
foot vein of iron ore on the Littleton farm,
but a four-foot vein Of pure limestone.
Arrangements are making to interest capt.

developing them. There is little DOUBT
that the hills of Tyler are full OF valuable
minerals. All we lack is enterprise to de.
velep the wealth that is hidden away.

Put Up a Joke on Himself.

A wag drummer at the Mcclure House
yesterday put up a little Job over which he
had lots of good solid enjoyment. He has
a lot of cards on which is printed the in
scriptiOn, THE HI you say~ Yesterday
he stuck one of them to the sole of his
shoe and placed his feet on a table in the
Mcclure House writing room so that every
one who came along could see it. He
then pretended to be asleep, but at the
same time he watched for developments
from under the brim of his hat, which was
pulled over his eyes. Presently several
friends came along and got onto the pla-
card, and they Immediately came to the
conclusion that some one had put up q
great job on the drummer, and they stood
around, talked about it and laughed loud
ly, and brought up every one who came
by to see the fun. The drummer sat there
for over an hour and enjoyed the racket
hugely, and now he has the laugh on the
gang.
